Thursday, June 10, 2010 Plainsboro Fire Company 407 Plainsboro Road Plainsboro, NJ 08536 609-799-0492 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Tom Healey (609) 235-5761(C) (609) 750-1403(H) Plainsboro Firefighters Planning 50th Anniversary Parade, New Apparatus Dedication on September 26 PLAINSBORO – The Plainsboro Fire Company will celebrate its 50th Anniversary with a parade to the township’s municipal complex on Sunday, September 26. The parade starts at 1pm and the festivities end at approximately 4pm. A group of township residents came together to form the fire company in 1960. Prior to that, Plainsboro was protected by surrounding fire companies. Over the past five decades, the fire company has evolved from an organization that protected a rural farming community to one that protects a suburban township with a large business community. As part of the anniversary, the fire company and the Board of Commissioners of Plainsboro Fire District No. 1 will also dedicate two new trucks – a 100’ tower ladder and a 2,000 gallon-per-minute rescue pumper. The dedication will follow a parade featuring companies from surrounding communities and refreshments will be available. The rain date for the parade will be Sunday, October 3. For additional information, please contact the Plainsboro Fire Company at www.plainsborofire.com or call 609-799-0492 or Tom Healey, Anniversary Committee Chairman, at heals2@aol.com.
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 The fire company donated, turnout gear, flashlights, P.A.S.S. devices, safety vests, hose, nozzles and a variety of other equipment to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund. Tim Lohan from the Pennsylvania chapter of the fund graciously drove to the fire house to pick up the equipment. It was brought to the attention of our members that many fire companies all across the United States are in desperate need of just about anything you can image. Apparatus, turnout gear, flashlights, P.A.S.S. devices, SCBA bottles, SCBA masks, nomex hoods, gloves, monetary donations, etc will gladly be accepted. After hearing the horror stories about firefighters in other states, fighting fires wearing only gardening gloves, it was the least we could do. If anyone reading this article knows of a fire company that has stuff lying around the firehouse that is not being used, or you don't know what to do with it, PLEASE, contact the Terry Farrell Firefighter Fund and they will find a place for it. It's all about BROTHERS and SISTERS helping each other!! http://www.terryfarrellfund.org/index.html Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund 1912 Wantagh Avenue Wantagh, NY 11793 (516) 783-1996 terryfund@verizon.net
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 Once again the Middlesex County Fire Coordinators called upon Brush 49 to assist them with a stubborn brush fire in Raritan Center. The brush fire was located off of Olympic Drive and several fire companies assisted with extinguishing it. Edison, South Old Bridge, and Spotswood were on scene for an extended period of time.
Monday, August 9, 2010 The 911 calls started to come in around 0550hrs this morning Monday August 9, 2010 for a car into a pole on Dey Rd. near Pheasant Hollow. There was no entrapment and only 1 vehicle was involved. The fire company assisted with shutting down Dey Rd. at Scotts Corner Road, and was on scene for a few hours.
Friday, August 6, 2010 The Middlesex County Fire Coordinators requested Brush 49 to assist with extinguishing a large brush fire in Raritan Center off of Olympic Drive. Brush 49 responded and was on scene for several hours, until the fire was out and overhaul completed.
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 It's not long before the fire company will take delivery of a new rescue engine and 100ft tower ladder. Recently the truck committee made the trip to the E-ONE factory in Ocala Florida to check on the progress of each one. It appears that everything is coming along as planned.
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 We regret to announce the passing of Plainsboro Rescue Squad member Christine Macken. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Macken family, the members of the Plainsboro Rescue Squad, Plainsboro Township EMS, Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, and Capital Health System EMS.
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 On the morning of Tuesday July 6th the fire company was dispatched to a 2nd alarm fire in Monroe Township. Ladder 49 responded to the scene and while en-route command advised them to take the front of the building and prepare to go to the roof. A vent hole was cut and it was determined there was no significant smoke in the attic space. Crews assisted with overhaul and remained on scene for an extended period of time.
